A Branded GRP Ticket Sales Booth for FlixBus

A moulded GRP kiosk for FlixBus ticket sales in Paris, finished in the company green with its graphics applied before delivery and a serving hatch on gas struts.

This FlixBus ticket sales booth is a moulded GRP kiosk that Karmod built in 2017 for the intercity bus operator's ticket sales in Paris. It shows a small moulded cabin working as a staffed sales point and a sign at once.

What a ticket sales booth has to do

A booth like this has three jobs: keep the seller sheltered through a shift, let passengers buy over a counter, and be recognisable as the operator's sales point from across the street. It also needs to go into position with little work on site.

Colour, graphics and the serving hatch

The one-piece moulded shell was finished in FlixBus green and the brand graphics were applied before delivery, so the kiosk arrived in full livery.

The kiosk has a counter window on the front for ticket sales, with a top-hinged hatch above it on gas struts. Raised, it shelters the counter window while the booth is open; lowered, it closes over the window to secure the booth. Two light fittings on the front allow staff to work after dark.

Delivered as a finished unit

The kiosk was lifted off the delivery lorry by crane with its graphics in place. Because it arrived finished, putting it into service was a matter of siting it rather than building it. Planning a similar delivery? Our guide to preparing your site for cabin delivery covers the base, access and services to sort out first.

Why a moulded kiosk suits a ticket point

  • The booth is the sign. A smooth moulded shell carries colour and graphics across its surface, so passengers can spot the sales point.
  • It is light enough to move. Today's GRP Cabin in the same footprint weighs 550 kg, so it can be lifted and re-sited if the sales point moves.
  • It can follow a change of brand. Karmod's programme kiosks for Manchester United were refinished in black when the club's branding changed, rather than replaced.

Ordering a similar ticket kiosk

The FlixBus footprint, 2.15 m × 2.70 m, is one of five sizes in our GRP Cabin range. The standard cabin in that size is £5,890 + VAT, excluding delivery and offloading. For this size a standard electrical pack is £575 + VAT, an electric wall heater £325 + VAT and air conditioning £2,950 + VAT. A serving hatch, colour finish, graphics and extra lighting are not on the price list, so we confirm what we can supply in your quote.

When you request a quote, tell us:

  • the size of your pitch
  • your brand colours and artwork
  • any serving window, counter or hatch you need
  • how a lorry can reach the pitch

We confirm the final layout on a drawing before production.

Wherever the kiosk will stand, check with your local planning authority whether it needs planning permission or any other consent before you order. For town and city centres, our guide to kiosks for cities covers the permissions to check.
